Comment on Bouchant study on bed verticalization in ARDS pts. Concerns regarding fluid responsiveness state & applicability of perioperative guidelines to ARDS management. Clarification could enhance the study's impact and clinical utility. #CriticalCare

3/4 Both are related to the Frank-Starling curve. 4/4 Fluid responsiveness is the primary factor for fluid management decisions. Note: "Preload responsiveness" is sometimes used and is essentially a synonymous term for fluid responsiveness, used to describe the clinical.

including factors beyond the immediate response to fluids. However, it's crucial to remember that fluid responsiveness is the primary factor guiding fluid therapy decisions. In summary, preload dependence is a foundational concept, while fluid responsiveness.

While preload dependence is a broader physiological concept, fluid responsiveness is a practical clinical tool. Both are linked by the Frank-Starling curve, but they serve different purposes. Understanding preload dependence helps predict how the heart might respond to.

in response to an increase in preload, as illustrated by the ascending part of the Frank-Starling curve. This is a fundamental physiological property and does not require external intervention to occur. Fluid responsiveness is a clinical measure that determines if a patient will.

Are "preload dependence" and "fluid responsiveness" the same?. PD and FR are related but distinct concepts in hemodynamics. They're usually interchanged but don't express the same ideas. Preload dependence describes the heart's intrinsic ability to increase stroke volume.
